Jitter-free is absolutely important over all else. If you use a large jack period, then there is no way around the latency when triggered from realtime sequencer input. However, the upcoming midi-over-jack could solve some of these issues when the sequencer supports it. > > But I haven't really cared about that so much, since once I liked > > the instrument sounds, my thought was to record the instruments > > individually into tracks in Ardour, and then adjust timing and > > relative gain there. > > Eh... this is a nuisance, the necessity of which I'd like to > eliminate. No reason to eliminate this, Ardour is capable of adjusting the recorded region offsets automatically based on the jack input port latencies (which include clients like specimen). jlc
